FORECAST FOR IMS ENCOU^/tfHNO
After probably the worst year in
the history of the textile Industry of
the South the cotton manufacturers
of North Carolina are looking forward
hopefully to a period of norma) opera
tion during 1925, according to Hunter
Marshall. Jr., Secretary and Treasurer
of the Cotton Manufacturers Associa
tion of North Carolina, In a statement
today embracing a resume of the sltua
tion In the Industry in the state dur
ing the past year, and a forecast of
the coming year. Mr. Marshall's state,
ment follows:
The close of 1924 marks the pass
ing of what has probably been the
most disastrous year In the history
of the textile industry In North Caro
lina and the South. Beginning shortly
after the opening of 1924 the Industry
experienced an enforced program of
curtailment and a period of depres
sion which wonld have been disas
trous Indeed to the Industry but for the
comparatively strong position of a
vast majority of our mills when the
depression set In. The depression and
curtailment lasted until late In the
year and It has only been during the
past tew weeks that normal opera
tion of the mills has been resumed.
The depression in the Industry was
the result of an apathetic market
There was no demand for yarns or for
goods at prices that would show any
profit at all, jobbers, retailers and
oonaumers apparently being commit
ted to a policy of "hand to- mouth"
buying. A majority of the mills of
North Carolina operated during this
period at an actual loss. They would
have saved money by closing down,
but with practically no exception,
they continued to operate on short
time In order to maintain their orga
nisations and to give their employees
sufficient work to save them from the
suffering that would have resulted
from a shut down.
The long period of depression in the
textile Industry in North Carolina has
not only affected the 70,000 workers
in the industry and the approximately
30.000 stockholders whose Investments
have made the present magnitude of
the industry possible, bur it has af
fected business generally in the sec
tions where mills are located. The ab
sence of dividends and payrolls has
meant smaller purchasing poweer for
tens of thousands of the best custo
mers of our merchants and of our
farmers. Hence, the resumption of full
time operation in the Industry is not
only a matter of moment to operatives
and stockholders In the mills but also
to merchants, farmers and business
and professional men generally. As a
matter of fact, the depression-has had
one good .effect?rit has revealed to
the people of our state generally the
importance of normal and profitable
operation in every industry, and par
ticularly one of such importance as
the textile industry, and the whole
economic and social fabric of onr
state.
The cotton manufacturers of North
Carolina hope and believe that 1925
will tell a different story from that SC.
1924. They are not anticipating ahy
large profits. They are operating to-'
day on too close a margin in most in
stances to enable them to earn any
thing like a reasonable profit. It is
the general opinion however, that if
market conditions improve and the de
mands for goods and yarns increases
the mills will be enabled to get on a
fair, dividend earning basis wthin a
few months.

A picture?An automobile filled
with happy people returning home
with thoughts of a happy Christmas; |
a steep grade at the top of which is
a railroad crossing; automobile en

of four persons and fatally injures

all the bags of good things' have been
passed into anxious little hands; Jolly
Santa Claus reaches for the last one

flames up; scores rush forward to put
out the fire; the tree falls and the dry
cedar pops as the blaze devours tbej
dry branches; frenzied people break
out window panes and the wind fans
the flames; thirty-two dead all he

This is no fiction but fact. Tf,
